U.S. and Texas Symbols

In Social Studies we are learning more about symbols and mottoes of both The United States and Texas. A great site for you child to visit is Ben's Guide to the U.S. Government for Kids. The site is full of information that the students will love including American symbols and songs. Although the site is intended and designed for students in Kindergarten through Second Grade, you may need to help your child read portions of the website. To learn more about Texas, we read L is for Lonestar: A Texas Alphabet by Carol Crane. The students then made diagrams of several of the symbols. For more information on Texas symbols, visit the State Symbols page to see actual pictures of the symbols.
